PHOENIX POWER (7) started at 8/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing ninth and beaten 13 lengths at Newcastle over 1m1 1/2f after being in contention on the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. NAUGHTY NURSE (10) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 7½f at Muswellbrook. Has a win and one placings at this journey from three starts. Best form puts her right in this. EXTERNUS (4) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when sixth over 6f at this track after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Cherry-ripe now and is among the leading chances. GOLDEN COPPER (8) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 1. 4 lengths last start over 6f125yards at Coffs Harbour. Should figure in the finish.
